Do you feel like Pluto sometimes?
June 14, 2007
A couple months ago, after years of intense debate, astronomers resolved that Pluto would no longer be considered to be a planet. Pluto was demoted.
Do you feel like Pluto sometimes? Demoted? There are many times in my life when I’ve felt as though I was short-changed or treated unfairly.
I remember I was disqualified one year from a race at my Elementary School’s Sports Day because I started off a few seconds before everyone else. I was angry! Yea, really angry because I spent a great deal of time practicing for this race.
There are many things in life that just do not seem fair at first glance. Perhaps you have been demoted at work or even overlooked when it came to that promotion you really wanted. Perhaps you did not get into the school you wanted to go to or failed a major exam.
There was a time when I had to take a steep pay cut at one of the companies I worked for. It was a trying moment. For a couple months, I did not have the luxury of shopping without looking at price tags. It was tough and seemed unfair at the time because I was no longer in my financial comfort zone.
God, from time to time, allows for us to be kicked off our pedestals or out of our comfort zones just so that we could get that much needed reality check; just so that we could get a better appreciation for who and what really matters.
If you are going through a Pluto moment right now, don’t catch a fit; you’re probably experiencing that down time because you need it!
Every Pluto, every misstep in your life is divinely orchestrated to prepare you for better things to come! Matthew 5:12 says: in times of trouble, rejoice and be glad because you have a great reward in heaven waiting for you!
From my heart, to yours,
Akhenton
